We've since had EC Directives on interoperability.

That is a good point.

As I've posted before, I suspect any high speed train in current
production in Europe such as a TGV or ICE meets todays UIC safety
standards which I would suggest are in excess of those determined for
the channel tunnel set 15 years ago.

All that would need doing is tweaking traction packs and power car /
motor coach permutations and power/trailer ratios to fit in with the
split half train concept (which might be questioned anyway). There is
no need to worry about specifics like TVM430 since TGV and some ICE
are clearly fitted with it already.

Other details are trivial.
